		<description><![CDATA[Most Americans welcome the switch to daylight saving time each March, mostly because of the longer days, but they also dread losing an hour of sleep after they move their clocks ahead one hour. A new study shows that losing just an hour of sleep could pose some dangerous consequences for those in hazardous work environments.

The study’s findings are published in the September, 2009 issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology, which is published by the American Psychological Association.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/daylight-saving-time-cuts-sleep-more-work-injuries/' addthis:title='Daylight-saving time leads to less sleep, more injuries on the job '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Drowsy driving is one of the most confounding problems when looking at traffic safety, especially when look at the fact that more than 60 percent of working Americans admit to driving while feeling sleepy, and of those sleepy drivers, a whopping 37 percent admit to having actually fallen asleep while behind the wheel in the past year. Those statistics are from the 2008 National Sleep Foundation's Sleep in America poll.

To the rescue, at least for an elite class of drivers, is the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which seeks to address the issue of sleepy Mercedes-Benz drivers dozing off at the wheel by introducing a state-of-the-art drowsy driving technology: Attention Assist.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/mercedez-benz-maker-battles-drowsy-driving/' addthis:title='Mercedez-Benz battles drowsy driving '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the U.S. Congress decided to change the start of Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2005, that one decision brought about a lot of headaches to the world, including for computer manufacturers. The biggest headache, though, will be for people, especially for those who have calendars that were printed in bulk two or three years ago, shipped to a warehouse, and then distributed. This year clocks in most of the United States are moved ahead at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8.

According to Jodi Mindell, PhD, a nationally recognized expert in pediatric sleep, "It's not uncommon for children to experience sleep disruptions with the return of Daylight Saving Time."<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/minimize-sleep-loss-when-daylight-saving-time-happens/' addthis:title='Tips to successfully sleep through Daylight Saving Time changes '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
